Next Generation Open Data Platforms | AWS Public Sector Summit 2016Amazon Web Services
The document discusses the evolution and future of open data platforms like GeoPlatform.gov, which implements goals of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure Strategic Plan. Key points include:
- GeoPlatform.gov provides a consistent portal for open geospatial data and services, and shared hosting of these resources.
- Recent improvements include new map viewers, analytics dashboards, and tools for data discovery, sharing, and collaboration.
- Future plans include expanding data registries, monitoring service quality, and providing more open APIs to developers.
- The overall aim is to advance open data sharing and make national geospatial resources more accessible, interoperable, and usable.
OpenGrid is an open source project that allows users to explore and query public open data from various sources through a single interface. It was originally created in Chicago to provide situational awareness across multiple city departments. WindyGrid, used by Chicago's emergency center, is now built on the OpenGrid codebase while using additional private data. OpenGrid is deployed on Amazon Web Services and is available on their marketplace so other cities and organizations can easily deploy it alongside tools like Plenario that aggregate open data from various portals.
This session is designed specifically for the Digital Inclusion Fellows, though other NTC attendees are welcome to attend.
Scaling pilot programs and transitioning responsibility from one person, team, or department to another requires intentional documentation, training, and sharing. This session will address how to successfully prepare a program to undergo change, so that work in progress continues and lessons learned support future expansion.

MongoDB Evenings Chicago - WindyGrid: Utilizing MongoDB for a Smarter & Safer...MongoDB
This document discusses how the city of Chicago is utilizing MongoDB for its smarter city initiative called WindyGrid. WindyGrid integrates data from over a dozen sources and visualizes it on a map to provide situational awareness. Location is a common element across city data and provides opportunities for research. The University of Chicago has deployed sensors across the city as part of the Array of Things project, which frequently posts hyper-local data on sound, temperature, and more to WindyGrid. This open data is accessed through MongoDB and contributes to making Chicago a smarter city.
For our twenty-fourth Civic User Testing Group (CUTGroup) session, we tested OpenGrid– an open-source interface developed by the City of Chicago that allows residents to search for, interact with and visualize City of Chicago’s datasets.
For the 28th Civic User Testing Group (CUTGroup) test, Smart Chicago Collaborative tested the redesigned homepage of the City of Chicago’s Open Data Portal. The Open Data Portal allows users to find resources and various datasets regarding the city of Chicago. The City of Chicago Department of Innovation and Technology is working with Socrata to redesign the Open Data Portal, focused currently on the homepage, to be more user-friendly while representing multiple data and technology initiatives and applications created with open data.
This document summarizes a meeting about juvenile expungement held on November 30, 2016. It provided information on juvenile expungement processes and resources in Illinois. The meeting agenda included introductions from Mikva Challenge and a youth council, an explanation of the juvenile expungement process from LAF attorneys, and a question and answer session. Key points included that juvenile records can create barriers to employment, housing and education, eligibility requirements for expungement, and common misconceptions about juvenile records. Attendees were encouraged to help spread awareness and host expungement clinics in their communities to increase access to legal resources.

The book summarizes the Chicago School of Data project which included a scan of our local data ecosystem from 2013 - 2014 and a convening we built on top of that scan. Typical with other Smart Chicago projects like CUTGroup and the Array of Things Civic Engagement Project, we also included “meta” sections in the Chicago School of Data book — specific details about how we executed our projects, what tools we used, and the logic or guiding principles behind our program design decisions.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
